And yes, it can happen for the most mature and astute of women. It’s like having a “Love Panic Attack.” *this is different than the crazy insane where someone begins stalking you/constantly calling or texting you or boiling bunnies or anything dangerous.

I’ve done enough self-reflection (read: therapy) to realize that I’m often the problem, the one who’s foregone intimacy for shinier and shinier objects. But now that I feel like I’m ready for something real, it seems like the only guys left in this town are perma-noncommittal, seriously disturbed, or so young they treat a visit to my apartment like an anthropological field trip into the lair of an older woman. So I accepted the assignment and decided I would try Tinder, Bumble, real-life pickups — anything in search of a good date.. No offense, men of Eastern North Carolina, but dating is scary enough without the possibility of being alone with a guy who shoots two rifles off his hips at the same time.

To be in constant chase is exhausting, and to repeat it, at ’s behest, every 48 to 72 hours in six very different U.

Maybe it’s something to do with living in the city that never sleeps, maybe it has to do with feeling responsible for tenants living in tiny apartments at all times.Maybe it’s just trying to stay ahead of the recycling codes. Afterward, we’d have the whole evening together before his flight back to San Francisco. I received a text: He’d been “called” to an unexpected meeting downtown. I’d already canceled our dinner reservation — there was no way I’d be able to push it back. One of my friend's from work and her friend were out one night in the SF Marina district and were hanging outside of the bars trying to find a cab. Now imagine that feeling multiplied times a tsunami and you’ll know what washed over me when called up to see if I would travel around the country going on dates to find out if location really matters when you’re looking for love.
